FAQs

Q: What is a Subathon?

A: A subathon usually takes place for a set period of time. This period of time is usually announced on QC Newsletters, Viki Discussions Forum, and a new Help Center article. Usually for a duration of two (2) weeks, the number of contributions a contributor makes, are taken into count and can lead to earning cute new badges!

If you haven't already, feel free to check out our “Get started in the Viki community!” article, and learn more about how to get started and become a part of the Viki Contributor Community!

Q: What are badges?

A: You can earn badges to proudly display on your profile page by achieving certain milestones, or participating in events such as this one! Read more about badges here.

Q: Do I have to choose between contributing subtitles or segments? Can I do both?

A: You are welcome to choose to do either segments or subtitles -- or you can do both!

Examples:

I created _ segments:	I created _ subtitles:	Total subtitles + segments	Do I qualify for badge(s)?
400	100	500	Yes - The 500 badge
100	500	600	Yes - The 500 badge
1000	0	1000	Yes - The 1000 badge
0	5000	5000	Yes - The 5000 badge

Q: Can I contribute to more than one show?

A: Yes, you can contribute to more than one show!

Q: I completed the contribution requirements! Where’s my badge?

A: Badges are applied after the subathon ends. Please note it may take up to 1 week to apply badges. Once the subathon ends, you can check on the status of badge application on this page.

Q: Do I get more badges the more contributions I make? Or do I get just the single badge corresponding to the highest number of contributions I make?

A: You get the single badge corresponding to the highest number of contributions you make.

Example: If you make 5000 subtitles, you get one (1) 5000 badge. You DO NOT get 3 badges (the 5000, 1000, and 500 badges).

The only situations you could earn multiple badges would be if you also earn the Top 100 badge. In this case, you would get both the Top 100 badge and the badge corresponding to the highest number of contributions you made.

Reminder:

Quality of subtitles continue to be Viki’s top priority. Please adhere to Viki Contributor Guidelines during a subathon. Contributions that are found to be in violation of Viki guidelines and policies will not be counted towards your subathon progress and your account may be penalized.
